The Winking Faces of the Sudan
The poems in this book look into every corner of life, concentrating on The Sudan's Wars. Some look at calamities such as the Asian Tsunami, terrorist bombings. Each of the twelve parts of the book has poems discussing similar things. The title "The Winking Faces of the Sudan" is derived from the poem 'Winkers of Sudan' on page 33" This is because I first wrote poems about the wars in Sudan. The tragedy sparked by repeated winkings done by the oppressors (The Predatory Winkers) when plotting against their preys - the oppressed (The Prey Winkers). Fortunately and unfortunately predatory winking are opposed by the preys in form of rebellions in South, East, and West in Darfur. Besides, "Winker...

A Feeling of Belonging
When we imagine the activities of Asian American women in the mid-twentieth century, our first thoughts are not of skiing, beauty pageants, magazine reading, and sororities. Yet, Shirley Jennifer Lim argues, these are precisely the sorts of leisure practices many second generation Chinese, Filipina, and Japanese American women engaged in during this time. In A Feeling of Belonging, Lim highlights the cultural activities of young, predominantly unmarried Asian American women from 1930 to 1960. This period marks a crucial generation—the first in which American-born Asians formed a critical mass and began to make their presence felt in the United States. Though they were distinguished from pr...
Reading Dionysus
Courtney J. P. Friesen explores shifting boundaries of ancient religions by way of the reception of a popular tragedy, Euripides' Bacchae. As a play staging political crises provoked by the arrival of the "foreign" god Dionysus and his ecstatic cult, audiences and readers found resonances with their own cultural moments. This dramatic deity became emblematic of exuberant and liberating spirituality and, at the same time, a symbol of imperial conquest. Thus, readings of the Bacchae frequently foreground conflicts between religious autonomy and political authority, and between ethnic diversity and social cohesion. This cross-disciplinary study traces appropriations and evocations of this drama ranging from the fifth century BCE through Byzantium not only among "pagans" but also Jews and Christians. Writers variously articulated their religious visions over against Dionysus, often while paradoxically adopting the god's language and symbols. Consequently, imitation and emulati on are at times indistinguishable from polemics and subversion.

The Deepest Darkness
In the final decades of the 21st century, mankind has colonized the moon and Mars and has created a "technological" tower of Babel. But then, without warning, mysterious anomalies that defy all the laws of physics occur in space. These anomalies, called Orbs, unleash storms of cataclysmic proportions throughout the solar system. Once god in the making, mankind scurries back to earth like a cowering mole. Against this backdrop of chaos and fear, Daniel Fielding, a seventeen-year-old orphan, bitter and angry with God and life, partakes on a dangerous mission to explore the Orbs. The mission makes discoveries that will challenge people's accepted beliefs about the origin of the universe. But, even more importantly, Daniel unlocks the truth about a power that Evil dreads, as he moves into the realm of the deepest darkness.
